The Central Americans have not conceded a goal in two outings
since the World Cup in Brazil - where they exited in the round of
16 - holding Chile 0-0 and beating Bolivia 1-0 in
September.

Fittingly, Herrera has stockpiled on defensive-minded players,
with half of the squad - two goalkeepers and nine defenders - able
to play at the back.

Left out from their win over Bolivia were defender Hiram Mier,
who was injured in the postponed Liga MX clash between Monterrey
and Chivas in September, goalkeeper Moises Munoz, PSV midfielder
Andres Guardado and defender Miguel Ponce.

Mexico take on Honduras at the Estadio Zoque VMR in Tuxtla
Gutierrez on Thursday, before a clash with Panama in Santiago de
Queretaro two days later.
